ELL3 Current Events

Here's our current event project for ELL3 social studies:

1. Make a pair with one other person.
2. Find a newspaper article. Check these websites - they are all reliable, but some of them will have more difficult English than others.
1. cbc.ca
2. https://www.nytimes.com/ca/    < - this one is tough
3. cnbc.com
4. https://www.ctvnews.ca/
5. https://globalnews.ca/
3. Read the article together.
4. Create a short presentation - 3-5 minutes. You can use a computer to make a PowerPoint or Google Slide. Tell us:
1. An article summary. Give us the key details so we can understand the news.
2. Is there more background about this problem or news?
3. Who is it about, who does it affect? How does it affect them?
4. Why is this news important?
5. What can we do with the knowledge this news offers?
